I really appreciate the psalms that David wrote that say “I will” in them. I have been memorizing Hebrews 13:7-21. Verse 15 says, “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”

We know from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 that giving thanks in everything is God’s will for us. Yet there are times when we don’t feel thankful. That is where intention needs to come into play. Taking our cue from David, we can say, “I will praise You Lord right now in the midst of this chaos.”

Psalm 34:1 says, “I will praise the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” This was written when David pretended madness before Abimelech. 1 Samuel 21:10-15. 

I love to use Psalm 139:14 in my worship declarations. It says, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
